I am just trying to create an authentic life for myself.
I am just trying to fill up my apartment with meaningful items.
I am just trying to create authentic art.
I am just collecting some cameras from different eras.
I am just enjoying a beer, relaxing.
I am just collecting old magazines with pictures of nature/old stuff
I am just mashing up genres of music.
I am just sitting on my authentic couch.
I am just going buy some used books later that look ‘old’ and ‘historically relevant’.
I am just going to buy some humble shoes.
I am just 1 bro
I am just 1 bro searching for meaning
I am just 1 bro searching for meaning in our modern world.

I m not buying n e thing for a bit so that I can afford the new DJ hero video game. It will be the most authentic thing I own, which is saying quite a lot since I own a pair of vans and a BLIND brand skateboard AND an iPhone.

- amp, mixing board (or some kind of board, idfk yall) keyboard, record player CHECK

I have nothing to add beyond that this is pretty much exactly what I was doing 10 minutes ago and will be doing again in another 10 minutes. In other words, this pretty much marks HRO’s descent into authentic journalism.

The only thing I don’t see is his vinyl collection, I give him an 8.33872 out of 10 on the authenticity scale.

looks like a pretty lonely guy, with lots of ‘friends’, trying to get even more of them by doing ‘cool’ things. and thats how to many people work, make others believe what you want to be so you can get closer to really being it. maybe just dropping your pants in the street helps.

why doesnt this fag get a desk or something so he doesnt have to sit on his skateboard with pink wheels and look intense, like hes actually making something anybody would ever want to listen too. and he definately skates because his shoes are in perfect condition. oh wait he probably can barely ride the shit.
oh and riddle me this, why the fuk is he staring at the turntable, whilst fingers on the keyboard and such? if hes programming anything, which hes obviously not, his eyes would be glued to the macbook, because thats where shit actually goes down. the turntable is just gonna spin stupid, not do tricks, and the random keys you push wont have any effect on the vinyl. we know damn well you staged the photo, and everything in it. Atleast try to do a more convincing job for us actual, real musicians ok? just humble us

Last night my refrigerator was stolen. At about 9:30 I was woken up by a loud noise. I went into my kitchen and found that my refrigerator was missing. I looked out the window and saw a truck pulling out of my driveway with my refrigerator secured to the trunk with bungee cords.
I thought about calling the police, but I didn’t feel like dealing with them. I am a lazy person. Instead I decided to buy a new refrigerator.
At 10:15 I left my house and drove to Sears. I stood in front of the automatic doors, waiting for them to open. They didn’t open. I banged on the glass and shouted. After maybe five minutes of this someone came and opened the doors for me.
I walked into the store and stopped in front of the TVs. They were showing the Home Shopping Network. I unzipped my pants and began to masturbate furiously. I ejaculated to a shot of a pasta cooker.
I walked up to an employee. I asked her if there were any refrigerators in stock. She didn’t reply, as she was too busy staring in horror at my erect penis. I had forgotten to put it back in my pants.
“Fuck,” I said.

oh, carles.
the concept of ‘alt’ that you preach about is no better than being ‘mainstream’. it is more esoteric, for sure, but no better.
but somehow, i think you understand this already. i think that, somehow, you are not backing what you claim to. you know how superficial all of this is, don’t you?

@the fuk?,
We ‘real musicians’ have much better ways of feeling ‘like were [sic] worth something’. We log on2 relevant weblog The HROs and talk about how authentic and meaningful we are.
‘We actually have real interest in what were doing, yall!’

Yes I am the guy on the photograph. Friends told me I was on this blog… I don’t know “Hipster Runoff” so I am checking and… It makes me smile a lot.
I am a Sountrack maker and I don’t try to be hype. It’s not my appartement. It’s not my skateboard… not my cameras.
